Southwest Airlines banned a man who is facing federal charges for his actions on a flight. This is one of the craziest passenger behavior stores I have seen in a long time, and the man doesn't even deny what happened, just that he thought it was kind of sexy.
Southwest Airlines flight 3814 from Seattle to Phoenix was involved in an incident. A criminal complaint written by an FBI special agent outlines everything that is alleged to have happened. I'm just going to quote the complaint.
McGarity exposed his penis and masturbated while in view of the female passenger seated next to him. McGarity was seated in seat 11F and his female witness was seated in seat 11E. Shortly after takeoff, and while the aircraft was in the air, McGarity exposed his penis by pulling down his pants and shorts and began masturbating. The female witness captured pictures of McGarity with his hand on his erect penis, which I reviewed during the course of my investigation. At some point during the flight, McGarity fell asleep and the female witness got up and advised the flight crew about the incident. She was moved to another seat on the aircraft.
After Southwest Airlines Flight 3814 landed in Phoenix, Arizona, the female witness sitting next to McGarity was interviewed by Phoenix Police Officers. She advised McGarity exposed his penis by pulling down his pants and shorts and proceeded to masturbate during the first hour of the flight, starting shortly after takeoff. McGarity masturbated with his exposed penis in view of the female passenger on four separate occasions, using both his left and right hands. She suspected that McGarity ejaculated because he licked a white substance from his fingers.
The man who is facing a criminal complaint admits that he had an orgasm. His only defense was that he didn't think his female seatmate was thinking.
McGarity admitted to law enforcement that he had masturbated during his flight from Seattle, Washington, to Phoenix, Arizona, and that he had an orgasm. McGarity knew the female witness sitting next to him was aware he was masturbating and could see his exposed penis. McGarity was aware that the female witness sitting next to him used her telephone camera to capture McGarity masturbating. McGarity advised he asked the female witness if she minded if he masturbates. According to McGarity, the female witness put her hands in the air and said “It really doesn’t matter.” McGarity said he thought it was kind of kinky. McGarity did not think the female witness was uncomfortable with him masturbating.
Southwest Airlines placed McGarity on its no-fly list as soon as they learned of his behavior, resulting in a lifetime flight ban, according to a statement. He could be fined up to $500 and spend up to 90 days in jail, but that punishment pales in comparison to the criminal charges he faces.
There are lots of stories about people on planes, but this is one of the most disturbing. A Southwest Airlines passenger masturbated in front of his seat mate, and thought it was kind of weird.
Hopefully the traveler can get help.
